Judging by the time delay, I calculate you could be on Alpha Centauri B. We don't have a leader at the minute.

How do you brand and create merchandise for a general direction?

Ah, thanks!

So according to that (and assuming my powers of interpretation haven't failed me) then as long as Marc Greens share is less than 25% he wouldn't be classed as an 'influential person'?

I hope the said portfolio shrivels up and drops off.

Just thinking more about this complete farce...

I wonder if there will be a legal challenge lodged from any L1 team against any NewCo replacing a liquidated Bulls in the Champs?

I also wonder if that would make a, sadly, common or garden, regular Bradford admin club sale more palatable to the RFL given that any challenge based on being told you must start at the bottom would utterly fr1g the fixture list for the year if successful? (If it was possible to actually conclude such a challenge before the season begins)

However, playing devils advocate, let's say the RFL rejects the bid and BBNH is liquidated, and an L1 club did launch a legal challenge and was successful, would there then be a counter challenge to stop any reasonably strong Bradford side being dropped into L1 in 2017 thereby perhaps causing any plans for promotion being seriously affected given the assumption of a reasonable strength Bradford team and a definitely strong Toronto team?

You're earning your considerable amount of corn Nige...

Just been on Wasps website I know nothing about union,
but to go from admin in 2012 to the set up they have now is some achievement...

Are these the guys Frank?

Doubt it, courts very rarely get involved in running of sports

The point of this whole new bid or altered failed bid from earlier in the week, is we haven't been liquidated yet as the paperwork hasn't gone in, the POTENTIAL new owner has agreed terms with the admin top pay more of the debt.

This is only as I understand it, but there is no need to dock us the extra 6 points and the special "hammering" the RFL had in store for us entering administration.
A legal challenge by any lower tier club would be unfounded.

I genuinely couldn't see any lower league club putting in a legal challenge anyway.

All but 1 would have been worse off. As I've said previously they've all prepared squads to mount a charge on Championship 1 promotion. Built around a budget for those needs. Their aim is to win promotion with that squad and be in the Championship in 2018. If they were thrown in there now, they would be 99% guaranteed to be in Championship 1 in 2018 due to inevitable relegation after getting whipped every week. So while it may bring them some better gates this year, it means that long term, they are in a worse place.

The only exception is Toronto. I'm sure they'd love to be in the Championship this season with their squad. However the month's notice they'd have to do it in creates a total logistical nightmare because of their location. Because of them arranging travel and accomodation for both themselves and visiting clubs. Because of making sure their fixture lists are "4 home, 4 away". It just couldn't all be rearranged easily on such short notice.

So why would any team have an argument that they would have been better off in the Championship this year at a month's notice? Quite clear none of them would.
